You could then use bookwithmatrix.com to click through and book with Priceline, however it's generally better to call BA to book these directly, to avoid having to go through an agent for any changes.

Thanks, Ldnn1. One effect of domestic CE (in my experience of searching) seems to be to now push domestic connections into expensive fare buckets, so I'm now more likely to consider ex-EU, positioning with LH, SK or KL.
Just did a longhaul UUA search on BA, and the price including domestic connections was £1200 greater than departing from LHR
Hopefully I'll begin to find ways round this, with the help of people like yourself
